    The kitchen team demonstrated great skills and culinary concepts once again - with many new menu items. I’m glad the duck breast is back. The corn bread combines sweet and savory elements and really you can order it as a shared appetizer or even as a dessert! Love the service team as well. They are so friendly and they always give you recommendations. Thank you again!

    Service and food excellent. Some new items added this time and the pasta appetizer was fabulous. I hope it’s on the menu the next time I go. They also make the best martinis in town.
